Changing Boundaries — The following communication was re-
ceived from the Northwest Indiana Conference in regard to chang-
ing the boundary lines between the two Conferences.
To the Presiding Bishop and Members of the North Indiana Con-
ference :
Dear Fathers and Brethren : In conformity with Para-
graphs 436 and 437, Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church
1900, the Northwest Indiana Annual Conference took the following
action at the session held in South Bend, Ind., September 2-S, 1903 :
At the first day's session, September 2d, the following memorial
was introduced and action thereon taken, as recorded on pages 303—
304, Minutes of 1 903 :
[The printed Minutes are adopted as the OflScial Record.]
Memorial on Conference Boundaries — D M Wood read the
following paper memorializing the General Conference to change the
boundary between Northwest Indiana and North Indiana Confer-
ences, and moved its adoption :
The Northwest Indiana Conference asks a change in boundary
line between the North and-Northwest Indiana Conferences so as to
equally divide the territory now occupied by these two Conferences.
We call attention to the following facts: The St. Joseph River
constitutes about three miles of the present boundary, extending from
South Bend to the Michigan State line. The distance from South
Bend to Indianapolis, or 129 miles on a direct line, is bounded by a
public highway known as the " Michigan Road, " which in an early
day and before the construction of railroads, was a well-known State
thoroughfare, but to-day is comparatively unknown. Indianapolis
is in almost the exact center of the State east and west. South Bend
is seven miles west of the center. Logansport is ten miles west of a
straight line drawn from Indianapolis to South Bend. This curye
1904] North Indiana Conference 19
in the boundary line to pass through Logansport gives an advantage
of twenty-one miles in width to the North Indiana Conference at this
point.
From IvOgansport to the Illinois line is sixty-one miles, and
eighty-two miles to the Ohio line. Logansport is ten or twelve miles
west of a line dividing the State north and south. It is now a great
railroad center and greatly needed by the Northwest Indiana Con-
ference as an administrative center, and is so located as not to be
used as such by the North Indiana Conference. Its location and
railroads would make it a center for a Presiding Elder's district
equal, if not superior, to any city now in the Northwest Indiana
Conference, and would make it one of five or six great administra-
tive centers of the Conference.
Another important item showing that the present boundary line
does not constitute an equitable division, is that the North Indiana
Conference includes the richest area of the State with no waste lands,
while almost one-third of the territory of the Northwest Indiana
Conference is marsh land not yet fully open to cultivation.
We call attention to the fact that the following county lines
would almost exactly divide the north end of the State into equal
parts : The east line of St. Joseph, Marshall, Fulton, Cass, crossing
Howard on direct line from southeast corner of Cass to northwest
corner of Tipton, thence south on east line of Clinton and Boone un-
til it intersects the line of the Indiana Conference. A line such as
this would have a rational and equitable basis, and could be traced
by any child in the district schools.
Upon these facts, and others which may be furnished, we base
our memorial for an equal division of territory.
W H Hickman moved to substitute that we appoint a Commis-
sion of three to meet a like Commission from the North Indiana Con-
ference, and canvass the matter of readjusting the Conference
boundaries.
On motion of S P Colvin, the subject was postponed and made
the Order of the Day after the report of the Presiding Elder, of
I^afayette District, to-morrow morning.
At the second day's session, September 3d, as recorded on page
305, the following action was taken regarding the memorial :
Order of the Day — The Order of the Day, the Memorial on
Conference Boundaries, was taken up. W H Hickman, by common
consent, withdrew his substitute ; and he moved to amend by the
addition of the following, and the amendment was accepted.
And in order to have a brotherly consideration of the whole
question, we ask our Conference to appoint a Commission of five
20 Journal of Daily Proceedings [1904
men from our Conference, to meet a like Commission from North
Indiana Conference to consider the advantages to be obtained in
developing the territory afiFected, and the Church generally, by mak-
ing these changes. And that the Secretary of our Conference be
instructed to notify the North Indiana Conference of this action, and
requesting that Conference, on our behalf, to appoint said Commis-
sion.
On motion of S P Colvin, the paper was divided. The memo-
rial to the General Conference was adopted unanimously by a count
vote of 119. The amendment to raise a Commission was adopted by
a count vote, 95 for and i against.
At the third day's session, September 4th, the following Com-
missions were confirmed to carry out the above action :
Commission on Boundaries — The Bishop read the nomina-
tions for the Commission on Boundaries: W P McKinsey, J S
Hoagland, A T Briggs, S P Colvin and M H Appleby, and they
were confirmed.
I hereby certify that the foregoing is a correct transcript of the
proceedings of the Northwest Indiana Annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, regarding the Memorial to be presented
to the General Conference of 1904, on changing the boundary lines
between this and the North Indiana Conference ; and that I have
given this official notice to Leslie J Naftzger, Secretary of said
Conference. ^^^^ ^ Maxwell,
South Bend, Ind., Sec'y Northwest Indiana Conference,
March, 1904. Session 1903.
S P Colvin, of the Northwest Indiana Conference, then ad-
dressed the Conference in the interests of the proposed change in
lines.
Resolution — H N Herrick introduced the following resolution
and moved its adoption :
Having heard the communication from the Northwest Indiana
Conference, through its duly appointed commission, on change of
boundary between the North Indiana and the Northwest Indiana
Conferences ;
And being unqualifiedly opposed to any change in said bound-
ary line and also opposed to any action that could possibly be inter-
preted, directly or indirectly, as favoring such a change ; therefore
1904] North Indiana Conference 21
Resolved, That we hereby most courteously acknowledge the
receipt of the official communication from the Northwest Indiana
Conference, through its accredited representatives, but respectfully
decline to appoint the commission called for, or to take any action
that would in any possible way be interpreted as in the slightest de-
gree favorable to such a change.
W D Parr addressed the Conference in favor of the resolution.
A count vote was called for and the resolution was adopted by a vote
of 151 for to o against.

Anniversary was then held, W D Parr, one of the Assistant Secre-
taries, in charge. The Church Rallying Song was sung, and W D
Parr addressed the Conference in the interests of the Society. Bishop
McCabe also addressed the Conference and sang, " We 're Building
Two a Day, Dear Tom." A collection was taken for a church in
Northern Minnesota, which amounted to more than $150.

resumed, and the character of C U Wade, Presiding Elder of the
Muncie District, was passed, and he reported for his District. The
character of the following effective Elders was passed, and they
reported their collections : C W Shoemaker, C M Hollopeter, J O

REPORTS.
AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.
We have with great satisfaction heard from the field agent for this dis-
trict ; of the vast work being accomplished by this Society, especially in our
new possessions and other mission fields. Everywhere the Bible Society is
the right arm of power, opening homes and hearts for the reception of Jesus
Christ. Our Conference is to be congratulated on its increasing interest in
the American Bible Society, manifested in the more than forty per cent,
increase in our collections since last year. Let, it be remembered that this
Society alone (so far as this country is concerned) translates and furnishes
by direct gift, or at nominal cost, the Bible for the poor of our own land and
our mission fields.
Therefore, Resolved, Ist. That the apportionment of this Society be seven
per cent, of the amount apportioned for missions.
2d. That we indorse Dr. John Pearson as the representative of this
Society.
3d. That a favorable hour be set apart during our next Conference ses-
sion as an anniversary of the American Bible Society.

CHURCH EXTENSION.
1. We heartily congratulate the Board of Church Extension and the
Church at large on the great success of their work during this quadrennium,
and especially on the remarkable financial success of the past year, which
shows a handsome increase over previous years.
62 Reports [1904
2. We reaffirm that our rapidly increasing population and new terri-
torial additions still need the work of Church Extension, and that our Meth-
odism, by fostering and strengthening this work, will increase its power to
do the large work demanded.
3. That we, as a Conference, will not be content with anything less
than a full response to the call of the General Committee, until all the peo-
ple under the protection of the American flag shall be furnished with places
of worship
4. That our Presiding Elders be requested to apportion, with care, the
full amount asked for Church Extension, to the several Districts and pastoral
charges for collection, and that, availing ourselves of the helps provided by
tlie Board, we will present this cause in all our charges, and secure at least
the amount asked, in accordance with the plan of our Discipline.
5. The collections taken this year in our churches, besides wills and
bequests, amount to S4,031, showing an actual increase of $135 over last
year. For the ensuing year our Conference is asked to raise, by collections,
16,000. Interest, therefore, in our own Conference, as well as in the general
cause, sliould inspire us to all diligence to secure the full amount asked, and
if possible go beyond it.
6. Christianity In Earnest, with its quarterly visits, will furnish to all
who receive it the latest tidings of this work and its wants. Documents for
free distribution can be secured by pastors and church committees on Church
Extension on application to the Board of Church Extension, 1026 Arch street,
Pliiladelphia, Pa.
7. We hear, with constantly increasing delight, of the growing effect-
iveness of Rev W D Parr, D D, of our Conference, as one of the Church Ex-
tension Secretaries, and appreciated the masterful address delivered by him
on Church Extension at the anniversary of this Society this year. We
believe in Dr Parr and in his ability to take care of the great interests
intrusted to him by the Church. We will heartily welcome him to our
charges as the representative of the above Society.
Earle Naftzgeu, Secretary.
CHURCH INSURANCE.
We are glad to know that our people are coming to realize more and
more fully that it is just as much the duty of Methodists to see that their
churches and parsonages are insured as it is to build them. It is estimated
that approximately $7,000,000 of the insurance in force with our company, is
on such property that was formerly uninsured.
The Board of Insurance, elected by the General Conference of 1896, com-
pleted the legal corporation in compliance with the Discipline in March, 1899.
The operations of the first full quadrenninm, which closed with the beginning
of this year, proved that the inaugurating of this work was a wise action, the
full importance of which cannot be put into figures. Our church and other
property, directly in the interest of Methodism, is under protection to the ex-
tent of $21,278,459.00. The total losses since organization were $106,784.92.
19045 r North Indiana Conference b3
It is estimated by the office that approximately one-half of these losses were
on property that was formerly without insurance. This means that a large
number of our charges that were weak financially have been saved from
serious embarrassment, and that Methodism has been saved in some localities
where rebuilding would have been out of the question but for the assistance
given by our company. It is of great importance to world-wide Methodism
that we co-operate in increasing the volume of risks on the well constructed
and favorably located churches and thus make it easier for those less fortu-
nately situated to carry insurance, for which, of course, they pay a propor-
tionately higher rate. While our corporation in compliance with the Dis-
cipline is avoiding, so far as is safe, the piling up of assets, the views of the
management are entirely in accord with the conservative laws controlling its
operations and a cash Reserve has been built up and is held for the protection
of the policy holders equivalent to that required of stock companies ; but so
far as is practicable the premium money is left in the hands of tlie members
until needed to meet the annual payments.
The Resources of the Company were as follows : Cash Assets, $56,675.51.
Notes not due, $187,577.31. Total Assets admitted by Insurance Depart-
ment, $244,252.82. Liabilities: Losses due and unpaid, none. Losses in
process of settlement, $5,785.00. Sundry accounts payable^ $2,674.89, Reserve,
held for protection of members, $32,999.93. Assets above all debts and the
Reserve required by law, $211,252.89.
While the terms of insurance are much more favorable than those used
by stock companies, the rates are held sufficiently high to provide for emer-
gencies, and yet the last annual meeting was able to declare the usual 10 per
cent, dividend for the fiscal year 1903 as earned on premium payments made
in 1902.
It should be remembered that under a decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States there is no legal difficulty in the way of our churches in-
suring with our own company.
The Secretary, Henry P Magill, 57 Washington Street, Chicago, 111, will
furnish any additional information desired.
CLASS MEETINGS.
Whereas, We believe the Class Meeting to be one of the most potent
factors in developing and increasing the spiritual life of the members of the
church ; therefore, be it
Resolved, That, as pastors, we will more faithfully urge our members to
attend, so far as possible, every service.
We also recommend that even where Class Meetings are not being held,
that the office of Class Leader, as the assistant of the pastor in his spiritual
relations to the membership, be preserved.

EDUCATION.
THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS.
Whatever may have sufficed in the past, we believe that the spirit of the
times as well as the exigencies of the work of the Church of Jesus Christ in
the Twentieth Century, will demand a consecrated, educated, and spirit-filled
ministry. We therefore advise every young man who feels the call of God
into the work of the ministry, to make a thorough preparation in some one of
our Theological Schools.
GARRETT BIBLICAL INSTITUTE.
This school is situated at Evanston, Illinois, on a beautiful campus by the
side of Lake Michigan. Access is afforded the students to the new Orington-
Lunt Library, which contains thirty thousand volumes of well selected books;
and especial attention is called to the advantages of Prof. Cumnock's School
of Oratory.
The faculty of the institution consists of men who are examples in piety,
eminent in scholarship, and who have profound faith in the divine authority
of the Scriptures. About one hundred student appointments are available to
capable men who wish to avail themselves of this assistance.
BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY.
Boston University School of Theology is our oldest school and is unsur-
passed. Students in this school have great advantages in being admitted into
any of the University classes without tuition. They have free access to the
great libraries of the city as well as to the magnificent Art Galleries. The
excellent literary advantages of the old classic city of Boston are inestimable.
With an equipment adequate for all demands and a faculty capable, conse-
crated and thorough, the institution is able to fit men for the highest work
of the church.
DREW THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
This Divinity School at Madison, New Jersey, is within an hours' ride of
New York City, thus affording its students the advantages of a country home
and contact with great city problems. It is one of our greatest and best
1904] North Indiana Conference 65-
equipped schools, situated as it is in the midst of a great metropolitan Con-
ference, and near the great city of New York it affords a fine opportunity for
Missionary work. Free scholarships in Columbia and New York Universi-
ties are extended to those desiring a Doctorate in Philosophy.
While the Professors keep in touch with all advanced thought, yet they
prove all things and hold fast only that which is good.
THE WOMAN'S COLLEGE OF BALTIMORE.
This College was founded by the Baltimore Conference in connection
with, and as a feature of the celebration of the first centennial of the organ-
ization of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The aim of this College is to provide young women with facilities for
thorough collegiate training under conditions favorable to physical and moral
well-being. It is denominational only in the sense that its discipline is in
harmony with the views of the church which founded it. The New Testa-
ment ideal of character is upheld and urged upon students without effort,
direct or indirect, to influence denominational preferences.
We deeply sympathize with the friends of this College in the great loss
they have sustained in the recent conflagration in the city of Baltimore. We
give to President John F Goucher, D D, a renewed expression of our confi-
dence in his ability to direct the College through this emergency.
ILLINOIS WOMAN'S COLLEGE.
We rejoice in the prosperity and growth of the Illinois Woman's Col-
lege at Jacksonville, III. This is the only school of our church for women
exclusively in all the middle West, and we commend it to those of our peo-
ple who wish to patronize a school for women as a thorough school, and a
safe and helpful Christian home.
We deplore the fact that many Methodist parents are sending their
daughters to schools not in harmony with the discipline of our church, and
we urge our pastors to vigilance in securing the attendance of our young
people in our schools.
THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.
The sainted Bishop Hurst, first Chancellor of the American University,
looking out upon its future with prophetic eye, once said, "As God by His
special Providence has led us to every step, so will he lead us in all future
years, until students from many lands shall enter its halls in quest of light
from Him who is the light of the world," and we believe that this prophecy
will be fully realized. Much has already been done toward its realization, so
that with lands and buildings, with endownment and bequests aggregating
$2,400,000.00, and with 1500 students already knocking for admission, it seems
to us that there should be no further delay in opening the University.
But this cannot be done until the removal of the restriction placed upon
the Trustees by the General Conference of 1892, which forbids the opening
of the institution until $5,000,000.00 of endownment above the cost of lands
and buildings have been secured. We believe this action to have been a mis-
66 Reports ' [1904
take, or at least no longer necessary. Like action would have prevented the
opening of every university in Europe and America.
We feel sure that with such a body of great men as trustees and the wise
and capable Bishop McCabe as Chancellor, it will be safe to remove this re-
striction and launch this great institution upon its career of uplifting the
world.
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
We most heartily commend the work for higher Christian education
which is being accomplished for the Church through the Board of Educa-
tion. We especially approve the emphasis upon educational excellence and
genuine spirituality as the true ideal for our schools. We note with satis-
faction the report of special gifts to the Board of Education, and unreserv-
edly commend it to the benevolence of our people, particularly those who are
able to make large gifts.
We urge that Childrens' Day be observed and a collection taken in every
charge according to the Discipline. It is not " Flag Sunday " nor " Flower
Sunday " nor any festival of the sort. It is the day when the doors of the
Christian College should be made to open wide for the Christian youth.
Let it be so observed.
During the past year the Board aided students who gave their home res-
idence or Church relationship as within the bounds of our Conference to the
number of seventeen and to the amount of $1,040.00. The contributions of
our Conference received by the Board for the year were $1,963.90. Our
Minutes show a large number of charges not contributing to this fund.
We commend the officers of the Board for their energy in collecting loans,
and we urge all beneficiaries within our own Conference to make as prompt
payment as possible. We commend the Christian Student and the Cokesbury
Guild to all our people.
We call upon our people to give liberally of their wealth that our insti-
tutions everywhere shall be equal to the best.
We call upon our institutions everywhere to fulfill their high and im-
portant ministry in behalf of the Church. We call upon parents to conse-
crate their children to Christ and His service and to give them the best edu-
cation as a preparation for that service. And we call upon our young men
and women to give themselves fully to Christ for salvation and service, and
to seek in a Christian College the highest training for the greatest usefulness.
Our Church needs a thousand new men each year for the ministry alone.
The head of the Church is calling for the best.
We recommend that in view of the location of Taylor University at Up-
land, no apportionment be made for public education, to the Upland charge.
TAYLOR UNIVKKSITY.
This Bchool is located in the bounds of our Conference. It is under the
control and direction of the National Local Preacher's Association of the
Methodist Church, and is a fitting memorial and monument to the memory
of our sainted Bishop Taylor. We commend its work and congratulate the
institution on having secured Rev C W Winchester, DD, of the Gennesee
Conference, as its President, as successor to Rev T C Reade, D D, deceased.
1904] North Indiana Conference 67
DKPAUW UNIVERSITY.
We wish first of all to commend the wise and tactful leadership of Rev
H A Gobin, D D, who so ably directed the affairs of the University through
restless and perilous times and who has, since our last session, given over the
direction of the work of the University to Rev Edwin H Hughes, S T D.
We congratulate the University in the selection of the new President.
The beginning of his administration is auspicious for a new era of great pros-
perity. We feel assured that this cause which lies so near to our hearts has
been placed in safe and competent hands. We are confident that the mem-
bers of the Conference will give to Dr Hughes their loyal co-operation in
whatever plans he may suggest. In this critical time in the history of the
University, special effort ought to be made in securing gifts, creating DePauw
sentiment, and sending new students to the University.
We take just pride in the work accomplished by our brother. Rev C E
Line, D D. The addresses he has delivered, anti. the gifts he has secured,
have made for him a splendid record as a servant of his Alma Mater. We
again recommend that fifteen cents per member be apportioned to the charges
of our Conference for the coming year, which sum shall constitute our
regular collection for education.
TRUSTEES AND VISITORS.
We recommend that Rev John C White be appointed visitor to the
Illinois Woman's College at Jacksonville, 111, Rev W M Nelson, visitor to
Boston School of Theology, and Rev J M Canse to Drew Theological Semi-
nary; Rev H W Bennett, D D, and Rev Chesteen W Smith, visitors to
Garrett Biblical Institute.
We recommend that Rev C U Wade, D D, and Rev James A Patterson
be appointed visitors to DePauw University for a term of two years from
September 1, 1904.
We reccomend thfet Hon James F Elliott, and the Hon Hugh Daugherty
be elected trustees of DePauw University for a term of three years from
September 1, 1904, and that Wm H Charles be elected to fill out the unexpired
term of the late M V Beiger.
Resolved, that this conference extends a most cordial invitation to the Rev
Edwin H Hughes, S T D, President of DePauw University, to transfer to this
Conference, and assure him of most brotherly treatment as a member of this
ecclesiastical body. Respectfully submitted,
J K Walts, President.
Edmund F Albertson, Secretary.
EPWORTH LEAGUE CABINET.
The work of the Conference Epworth League during the year has been
carried forward with much discouragement, from the fact of a misunder-
standing between two of the Districts and the Conference Epworth League
Constitution as to support and financial aid, making it impossible for the Con-
ference organization to carry out its plans.
68 Reports [1904
With these facts before us it is the sense of the Cabinet that we request
the Conference to take under advisement the difficulties in the way of di-
vided support to either abandon the Biennial Convention or urge united sup-
port. In the interim of the Conventions we cannot consult the body that
created us, and so turn to this higher court for orders. We obediently await
your pleasure, either in our discharge or a call for a united forward move-
ment. In behalf of the Cabinet,
J F Snyder. Secretary.
FREEDMAN'S AID AND SOUTHERN EDUCATION SOCIETY.
Your Committee on Freedman's Aid and Sonthern Education Society beg
leave to report as follows :
The work which this great Society is doing for the uplift of the millions
of the needy white and colored people of the South, deserves not only the cor-
dial support of all Christian people, but of all patriots as well.
The results already secured are almost phenominal. Thousands of Chris-
tian teachers, ministers, physicians, nurses, and men and women trained in
our industrial schools, have gone forth to help in the elevation of their un-
fortunate brethern and the larger life of the republic.
We call special attention to the fact that there were more than three
thousand six hundred students in the industrial department alone last year,
and would respectfully request our pastors to emphasize this fact in present-
ing the work of the society to the people.
We desire to call attention to the fact also that the Christian Educator
will be sent to all persons giving one dollar or more to the cause, and we
suggest that the pastors send in the names of all such subscribers as soon a&
collection is taken. Tracts also, covering every phase of the Society's work,
can be had free of charge by writing the Secretaries.
Your Committee suggests that the Lincoln Birthday Sunday be adopted
and set apart as the most appropriate time for taking the collection for this
Society.
The apportionment to this Conference for the incoming year is $5,400.
We request the Presiding Elders to apportion to the several Districts our
apportionment, and pledge ourselves that we will do our best to raise the
same in full.
Your Committee but voices the sentiment of the Conference when we
say that no cause is more worthy of our full sympathy or more desei"ving of
our enthusiastic support.
Signed by the Committee.
HOSPITAL AND DEACONESS WORK.
We congratulate the entire Church upon the success of the Deaconess
and Hospital Work, and pledge ourselves as a Conference to do all in our
power to aid in the construction of the proposed hospital at Indianapolis.
1904] North Indiana Conference 69
We join in the suggestion that each licensed Deaconess be allowed anna-
ally $15.00 for vacation money.
We recommend that William D Parr be continued on the Board of Hos-
pital Trustees.

MISSIONARY REPORT.
Feeling that the Missionary cause is the paramount issue before the
minds and upon the hearts of our people. We therefore recommend the
following for adoption and action.
1. That we congratulate the church on the splendid response given the
appeals of our pastors for money for missions.
2. That we will give great encouragement to the Station Plan for raising
funds.
3. That we, as pastors, will early in the Conference year plan to raise
one dollar per member as the minimum for our Missionary Collection.
4. We will call into action our Missionary Committee and Epworth
League Committee on Missions and will organize our Sunday Schools into
Missionary Societies with a full corps of officers, hold regular sessions of the
Society, and present the cause of Missions in that way which we deem in our
judgment will be productive of the best practical results for the cause.
5. We will obtain from our headquarters a supply of literature to aid us
in giving to our people Missionary information, and thus by the blessing of
our Divine Lord create a holy enthusiasm in the hearts of our people to carry
out in fact as well as in profession and spirit, the great commission of Him
who commanded, "Go ye into all the world and preach my Gospel to every
creature."
6. We recommend that the officers of last year be re-elected.

PARSONAGES AND FURNITURE.
We, the Committee on Parsonages and Furniture, view with great satis-
faction the progress being made in the attempt to provide a Parsonage Home
upon every Charge within the bounds of the North Indiana Conference, and
to add to the convenience, comfort and beauty of the same.
We would reaffirm the resolution of former years :

PUBLISHING INTERESTS AND CHURCH LITERATURE.
Next to the pulpit the Methodist press is our strongest arm of power. We
do well "to foster it faithfully and to use it effectively. No Methodist can be
intelligent, loyal and eHicient in the highest sense who does not carefully and
constantly feed upon our literature. Our books and periodicals are unequaled
for Methodists in doctrine, quality and price.
It is superfluous to say that all our Sunday Schools should habitually
patronize our own publishers for many reasons. We need better methods as
well as greater persistence in the circulation of our literature, especially our
1904] North Indiana Conference 71
books, among our people. The man who finds a practicable solution of this
enigma will be a benefactor indeed.
Every member of an Official Board should be expected to take a Christian
Advocate. It should also be a weekly visitor to as many homes as possible.
We approve the editorial management of The Western and urge that each
charge seek for an immediate increase of at least five subscribers, thus adding
a thousand or more to the Conference list.
We take special pride in The Epworth Herald on account of its character,
its circulation and its profits. Its proceeds now equal one-third of the entire
net earnings of the Book Concern. In view of the splendid history and vital
importance of these interests, we are happy to note that both of our publish-
ing houses report an advance of earnings and profit over any previous year of
their history. With steady and united support at our hands there need be no
decline in these annual returns.
Methodist preachers should be scrupulously careful in regard to their book
accounts. An examination of these accounts emphasizes the necessity of
better methods, greater promptness and a higher ethical sense in this regard.
The committee urges that Presiding Elders see to it that the young men whom
they recommend for admission are conscientious and business-like in this-
matter. P Ross Parrish,

SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND TRACTS.
SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
1. We recognize in the Sunday School one of the most important factors
in the moral and religious training of the young. The past has proven its effi-
ciency and forecasts a great future. Its text-book is the Bible ; its teachers
and ofl&cers are earnest, consecrated men and women of God ; and its work is
to conserve the moral forces of the Church and State, and prepare the rising
generation for its part in the struggles and triumphs of our holy Christianity.
The Methodist Episcopal Church has over 31,000 Sunday Schools, 350,000
officers and teachers, and 2,600,000 scholars. These figures speak of our
opportunities and responsibilities.
2. We believe that our pastors and superintendents in selecting teachers
should endeavor to select teachers of earnest Christian character, apt to teach,
and of good repute before the world.
3. The literature for the Sunday School, published by the Methodist Book
Concern, is the best for the purpose that can be obtained ; and we urge that
our Pastors and Presiding Elders see that our literature is used in all our
Sunday Schools.
4. We recommend that all special days, as " Childrens' Day, " " Good
Tidings' Day" and Easter be observed and that the temperance lessons and
Christmas lessons be used in preference to substitutes.
72 Reports [1904
5. We recognize the claims of the Sabbath School Union of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church and will earnestly endeavor to raise the amount appor-
tioned to each Charge.
TRACTS.
1. The Tract Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church is doing a good
and great work throughout the world. Every year 11,000,000 pages of Tracts
are given away in the United States alone, and $10,000 are sent annually to our
mission stations to aid in the publishing and circulation of religious literature.
2. Inasmuch as the Tract Society needs the sum of 850,000 per annum in
order to carry on its great work, we urge that the amount apportioned to each
Charge be raised in full.
C E Line, President.
Schuyler C Norris, Secretary.
SOCIAL AND MORAL QUESTIONS.
We, your Committee on Social and Moral Questions, submit the following
report :
Whereas, The success of our Church depends very largely upon our
attitude and action toward certain moral and social questions; therefore, be it
Resohed, First, That we realize the importance of greater attention, both
by education and enforcement of law, to the preservation of our American
Sabbath. AVe especially deplore the desecration of the Sabbath, making it a
day of pleasure, such as Sunday excursions, base ball, and like amusements,
all of which tend to lower the standard of Sabbath observance as taught in the
AVord of God. We most heartily indorse the Sunday League of America, and,
as a body, join with it to make the AVorld's Sunday Rest Congress, to be held
at St. Louis, in October, 1904, a complete success.
Second, That we will use all our efforts to cause the discontinuance of
granting divorces on other than Scriptural grounds.
Third, That we most heartily indorse paragraph No. 248 of the Discipline,
and emphasize its importance and utility; and we will urge our people to
recognize and obey our rules, and to abstain from those questionable methods
of raising funds for the support of the Church.

SUSTENTATION.
1. There is a need for additional support of pastors who serve the weaker
Charges of our Conference, and we have no other resources than the Confer-
ence Sustenation Fund for this support. We feel that our pastors and people
should be impressed with the need of this cause.
2. We recommend that the amount of $2,000 be apportioned this year, as
last, to the Districts, and that the funds collected be applied in the several
Districts by a committee of three, of which the Presiding Elder shall be
Chairman.
3. The Committee has audited the accounts of the several District Com-
mittees and finds them correct, and respectfully submits the following state-
ment:

1904] North Indiana Conference 75
TEMPERANCE.
We hereby declare our purpose to secure the absolute, prohibition of the
liquor traffic. This is our purpose because we are thoroughly convinced of
the injury wrought by the saloon upon morals and economics, well knowing
that it creates no commercial value but destroys much of value; and
Knowing that the saloon is the greatest foe of the church, the home and
the nation, destroying what we as a Church would create, tearing down what
we would build up;
Being convinced that the mission of the Church to build up Christian
character and a Christian nation, is the highest mission and that this is accom-
plished as Christ is enthroned in the heart, making Christian character, and
enthroned in the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the govern-
ment, ruling and controling the nation as He rules and controls the Christian
individual,
Aud further recognizing that the saloonists' willingness to compromise is
an acknowledgement of the Church's power to destroy it now,
And being convinced that the license system instead of being a temper-
ance measure has been the direct cause of the perpetuation and enlargement
of the liquor business,
Therefore we desire to declare ourselves dissatisfied with half-hearted
methods. That we, the North Indiana Conference, will stand where God and
man have a right to expect us to stand — namely in the front of any battle
that means the destruction of the saloons of our ward, city, township, state or
nation.
We desire to declare ourselves as being in conformity to the action of our
General Conference, Discipline 1892-1900, in that we "record our deliberate
judgment that no political party has a right to expect, nor ought it to receive,
the support of Christian men so long as it stands committed to the license
policy or refuses to put itself on record in an attitude of open hostility to the
saloon. But the foregoing must not be considered as in the interest of any
political party." We also affirm the principle of the Discipline of 1900 that the
liquor traffic "can never be legalized without sin. Planting ourselves upon-
the bed rock of that solid proposition, we declare that no citizen and no
Christian has a right by example, by voice, by influence, or by ballot to con-
tribute to the establishment or maintenance of the ungodly license policy as
applied to the liquor traffic."
Recognizing that the organized liquor interests of our state are making a
desperate struggle to repeal certain features of the Nicholson law ; but also
Recognizing that the Christian sentiment of the state demands advance
temperance legislature now, therefore
We appeal to our membership to vote for no man, of whatsoever political
affiliation, who is the friend of the saloon, or who is so faint hearted that he
will not declare himself in an unmistakable manner opposed to the saloon.
And further, we recommend to the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana the
following changes in Section 9, of said bill:
Ist. To make it possible for the people of any county, incorporated city,^
76 Reports [1904
incorporated town, ward, township or precinct, to remonstrate against the
saloons in the said county, incorporated city, incorporated town, ward, town-
ship or precinct.
2nd.. That one successful remonstrance shall prohibit the granting of
license to any applicant, in said county, incorporated city, incorporated town,
ward, township or precinct, for a period of two years.
We acknowledge the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana, the leader in this
proposed legislation and we declare our purpose to help them in all possible
ways, and will welcome their representatives into our pulpits.
We desire to express ourselves as being in favor of the Hepburn-DoUiver
Bill now before our National Congress, and that we cannot but look with dis-
approval upon the failure of any public servant of our territory to support
this bill ; and that we hereby direct the Secretary of this body to forward this
our conviction to each and every Senator and Representative from our ter-
ritory.
We further 'appeal to our National Government to take action to enlist
the. civilized nations of the earth in a world movement to prohibit the impor-
tation and sale of all intoxicants to the half-civilized and un-civilized peoples.
We hereby express our love and friendship for all who are laboring with
us for temperance.
We recommend the reappointment of L J Naftzger, B S Hollopeter and
Sherman Powell as Trustees to represent us on the State Board of the Anti-
Saloon League and delegates to the National Convention.
Believing that the Temperance Reform is the greatest civil reform in
which we are now engaged, we respectfully ask that provision be made for a
Temperance Anniversary at the next session of our Annual Conference.
We desire finally to declare our conviction that we shall be successful in
this struggle, that the liquor traffic shall be destroyed. In giving us our Gen-
eral Rules Mr Wesley incorporated rules against two great national sins —
slavery and the saloon.
And as the battle against slavery has been won, so shall we win as great and
complete a victory against the saloon.

WOMAN'S WORK IN THE CHURCH.
By observation, ami by the history of the church, we are convinced that
woman's work in the church has been, and still is, in harmony with the plan
of God, and that He intended that she should do her part in the evangeliza-
tion of the world. And as God is opening new fields of Christian activity and
1904] North Indiana Conference 77
is calling our consecrated women into these fields, at home and abroad, and as
they are obeying this call, therefore
Resolved: 1st. That we will encourage in our pastoral charges in every
way, both in public and private, the development and highest usefulness of the
auxiliaries of the Home and Foreign Missionary Societies, the Deaconess and
W. C. T. U. Work, and any other work that they shall put forth for the up-
building of the Master's Kingdom.
Resolved: 2nd. That we will welcome all authorized representatives of
these Societies to our charges, and will do all in our power to help them in
their noble work.
C W Shoemaker, President.
C H Wilkinson, Secretary.
WOMAN'S HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
Another page of history of the Woman' Home Missionary Society of the
North Indiana Conference has been written, and the record clearly indicates
that we are " growing. "
The increased interest in our literature and subscriptions to our official
organs reveals growing intelligence on lines of our work. The increase in
finance indicates larger hearts, more love to God and humanity, and the in-
creased membership shows that we are growing in " body. " For this growth
in mind, heart and body we devoutly thank our Heavenly Father who hath
given the increase.
We are pleased to report three new Auxiliaries and two Circles. We now
have sixty-six Auxiliaries, ten Circles and ten Bands, with a membership of
2,756, a gain over last year of 259. Several Life Members have been added to
the list. The Reading Circle Course has been a great help in interesting our
women in Home Missionary Work.
Subscriptions to our periodicals are slowly but constantly increasing. The
Supply Department has been quite active. Supplies valued at $3,612.19 have
been sent to our ministers on the frontiers and Industrial Schools.
In addition to the regular work of the Society we support seventeen girls
in our Industrial Schools, one in the National Training School at Washington,
D. C, pay the salary of one missionary and assist on salaries of several others.
Special contributions have been sent to Lucy Webb Hayes and Fisk Training
Schools ; to Boaz, Alabama ; Marcy Home, Chicago ; Mothers Jewels Home ;
Italian Work, New Orleans ; Community School, North Carolina; New York,
Immigrant Work ; Utah and Porto Rico. We are not unmindful of our State
Work and are raising money for the building fund of our Indiana Methodist
Hospital and Deaconess Home and have met our assessment for the support
of the Deaconesses.
Our Conference is pledged for one thousand new members this year and
we are confidently expecting every Auxiliary to do all in their power to meet
this pledge.
We most heartily appreciate the cordial, faithful support and co-operation
78 Reports [1904
of our Presiding Elders and Pastors, the loyal, earnest efforts of our devoted
women.
Thankful for the past, we confidently expect, under the guidance of our
Leader who never fails, to go forward strong in faith to as nearly as possible
meet the full measure of our responsibility as a Society in helping to bring the
world to Christ.

MEMORIAL FROM THE MUNCIE DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
At the session of the Muncie District Conference held at Montpelier, Indi-
ana, March 17, 1904 (102 members present), the following resolutions were
passed :
Whereas, In the judgment of a large majority of the Board of Bishops
of our church, in the experience of many Presiding Elders and Pastors, and as
a desire of a large portion of our large membership, it is deemed best to re-
turn to a time limit in the appointment of Preachers to the Churches. Be it
Resohed, That Muncie District Conference hereby petition our Annual
Conference, to be held at Muncie, April 6, to memorialize the coming General
Conference to be held at Los Angeles, California, to restore a time limit in the
appointment of Preachers to their charges.
Signed, C U Wade, President.
Wm a Griest, Secretary.
THANKS.
Resolved, That we do hereby sincerely appreciate the hearty hospitality
extended to this Conference by the local churches at Muncie, as well as by
the citizens generally, who have so kindly opened to us their homes.
That we thank the Rev E B Randle, DD, for his untiring and thoughtful
care for our every want, and for the skillful manner in which he and his
committees have discharged their arduous duties.
That we return thanks to the Merchants National Bank of Muncie for fa-
vors extended to our Treasurer in caring for our funds.
That we praise our Secretaries, the Statistical Secretaries, and the Treas-
urer and his assistants, for the faithful and skillful manner in which they have
discharged their duties.
That we have greatly enjoyed the songs of the North Indiana Conference
Quartet and return our thanks to the choir of the High Street Methodist
Church, and to the others who have so sweetly sung our Redeemer's praises.
That we welcome, for the first time, our beloved Bishop McCabe, express-
ing our appreciation of his sermon, addresses and exhortations, and our hope
that we may see him again as our President; that his years of activity in the
Church may be prolonged ; and that he may find it light and eventide.

W W*^ ^V On April 8th, 1886, she was
f married to Mr "Wellington Stanley
who died after a little more than
two years. About one j^ear after

In her church relations she possessed a birthright in the society of Friends.
Converted in early life she remained a member of that church till her marriage
with Brother Chamness, when she united with the Methodist Episcopal
Church. As the wife of a minister she was tactful, discreet, modest, resource-
ful and helpful. She soon found inviting fields for her well trained powers of
mind and heart. In local and district missionary work her able, willing, and
1904] North Indiana Conference 91
untiring services were always instructive, stimulating and highly appreciated.
While she was strong in every department of Christian work, she perhaps ex-
celled in her relation to the young life of the church. Her experience in public
educational work, together with natural adaptation, eminently qualified her
for directing the Junior League forces, and for superintending the primary de-
partment of the Sunday School, which she did with great acceptability.
Of the Christian character of Sister Chamness much might be truthfully
said by way of eulogy. She possessed the happy faculty of maintaining a
beautiful Christian spirit in every function of life, whether educational,
humanitarian, social, or religious. As she mingled with the people in these
diversified relations all were impressed with the sincerity, nobility, and purity
of her life. Every member of the church knew that a cordial, Christian greet-
ing awaited them at the parsonage home.
She had that perfect love which casteth out fear. Animated with a high
purpose, sustained by a strong desire to live that she might be useful, she still
maintained a calm, sweet and peaceful resignation to the will of God. Her
sufferings for the last year were intense, which called into exercise courage,
fortitude and great patience. Throughout her great trial she was never known
to murmur or complain, but greeted every friend who crossed her threshold
with a smile and a word of hope and good cheer. She was always anxious to
know her exact physical condition ; her inquiry however never betrayed fear,
but indicated by word and tone perfect serenity of soul. Not infrequently in
the morning she would ask her husband if he thought she would go to the
better land that day. Whatever the answer would be she always gave evi-
dence that either way — just so it was God's way — it was all right with her.
Such a life will ever remain a precious memory.
She leaves a father, mother, four brothers and two sisters whose sorrow
is mingled with the deep grief of the stricken husband and his three children.
Earl, Lulu and Ella, for the second time bereft of a faithful companion and
loving mother.
The funeral services were held in the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal
Church in Richmond. The Rev George H Hill, DD, Presiding Elder of the
Richmond District, preached the sermon, taking for his text " He (she) being
dead yet speaketh. " Heb xi: 4. The members of the Richmond Ministerial
Association attended in a body. Rev E O Ellis read resolutions of sympathy
and spoke words of comfort in behalf of the Assosiation.
A special car carried the bereaved family and a large number of relatives
and friends from Richmond to Dunkirk, Ind, where they were met by the Rev
F M Stone, who conducted the burial service in the Odd Fellows' beautiful
cemetery. M S Marble.

REV. CLARK SKINNER.
The Rev Clark Skinner was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio, August. 30, 1829. His
early childhood was subjected to some
very severe trials and tests of his ma-
K^^ ternal love. In a sketch, found among
^^ ,-| his papers after his death, he says:
^^ 'f " Mother was all the world to me; '' and
'•;^ ^ it was mutual, for the only son was all
^\f' ^ the world to mother. Nine happy sum-
' ' ' mers passed, and during that time the
enemy was on the alert, for the mother
was stricken with pulmonary disease.
The hectic flush and ashen hue were
unmistakable, and the boy with aching
heart began to divine the end.
His heart was harassed with the
thought that separation was coming,
which the mother would constantly urge upon the young mind was only tem-
porary.
Notwithstanding this, the chill would come in the thought of substituting
the cold world for a mother's heart-warmth. In a world with no nestling
place was more terrible than leaving it. Fortune's smiles had fled, and it had
been for years a mother's struggle with poverty, and in this struggle the little
son, beyond his years, had given himself. The mother's request was his in-
spiration continually. If he could succeed in trundling home upon his little
rudely made wagon a load of waste gathered by the wayside or from the far-
off woods, as the only supply to give comfort, with what exultation he would
report at mother's bedside. If with her pale, thin hand she would stroke his
head and speak of the comfort it would afford in the preparation of some sim-
ple delicacy, and of the cheer and warmth this their only fuel would produce,
he was more than repaid. His young heart would swell with manly vigor
prophetic of what he would do when abler. It was his delight to minister
when possible at her bedside. If a flower or a cup of water could be presented,
or a hand's turn of any kind, it was a mutual cheer.
It was the day before her death that he undertook, at her request, to read
a beautiful hymn full of rapturous hope for the future ; and in making the at-
tempt his utterance choked, his eyes filled, and he utterly broke down in sev-
eral attempts. After her death, to his childish heart this was a case of disobe-
dience and he felt he would give worlds could he have granted her request.
Her last words were " All is well, " and this was doubtless fully verified
in the greeting already enjoyed.
Then came the ordeal of separation from two younger sisters living with
distant relatives— too distant in natural ties to fill the great vacancy or assuage
the deep grief that sat upon the young life.
1904] North Indiana Conference 93
An instance had occurred at the beginning of the year in which the mother
died which seemed to key the life of the boy.
He attended a series of meetings held in a Presbyterian church of which
his parents were members. No attention was given to any interest that a
comparatively young boy took in the services. He soon began to realize that
an unseen power was moving his heart. He wrestled with it, and one night
when he retired to bed he was so much concerned that he greatly feared that
he might not live to see the dawn of another day and that if he should not his
soul must be eternally lost because of his sin. His sleep was disturbed by
distressing dreams. At one time in the night his anxiety was so great that he
called to his mother and asked if she thought he could be forgiven. She evi-
dently did not understand his case and simply responded, " Hush, child, and
go to sleep. " There was no help or comfort from any source. It was late in
the morning when he awoke to see the sun pouring its light in at the window.
That was symbolic of another more glorious sunlight which only waited to fill
the chambers of his soul. His first impression was, " I was mistaken in con-
cluding I could not live until morning. I may be mistaken in concluding
there is no help nor forgiveness for me. Oh, it may be that I can be forgiven.
I will pray. " He immediately got out of bed and fell upon his knees and at-
tempted to pray. The absurdity of it seemed to at once confront him, but he
was determined to pray as best he could. A few sentences were uttered,
when he began to realize marked freedom of access to God and a blessed con-
sciousness that he was taking hold of help, a verity of the Savior to whom he
was praying, as much as if he saw him in the room. Christ was indeed a glo-
rious reality to him ; " then came the full blaze of realization, a happy, joyous
consciousness of forgiveness. "
How many fail to understand that the Holy Spirit of God does in reality
move upon the hearts of children.
When grown up to young manhood Brother Skinner taught school in Cin-
cinnati and prepared for college, and was educated in Wabash College, located
at Crawfordsville, Indiana. He was admitted into the North Indiana Confer-
ence at its session in Muncie forty-eight years ago in September, its last fall
session.
Three of his class-mates are now superannuated members of the Conference
and another, Dr D J Starr, a member of the Cincinnati Conference, is Chaplain
of the penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio. In 1858, Brother Skinner was trans-
ferred to the Northwest Indiana Conference and was also, for a short time, a
member of the Wisconsin Conference, but was re-transferred to the Northwest
Indiana. In 1873 he was transferred to the North Indiana Conference, and
again in 1888 became a member of the Northwest Indiana, and in 1893 returned
to the North Indiana Conference, showing the flexibility of our economy and
that it is readily adjusted to suit any peculiar conditions.
He was pastor in some of the principal towns and cities of Indiana such as
Crawfordsville, Laporte, South Bend, Terre Haute, Greencastle, Fort Wayne,
Newcastle, Muncie and Goshen, and from 1880 to 1884 Presiding Elder of the
Richmond District. In 1884 he was elected delegate to the General Conference
which convened in Philadelphia.
94 Obituary [1904
About the year 1857 Brother Skinner was married to Miss Nannie C
Sewell, who was the mother of his five children, and on January 2, 1870, they
were left motherless.
On the 8th of February, 1871, he was married to Miss Martha E Voliva,
who is now the bereaved widow.
For a few years he held a supernumerary relation to his Conference and
in 1901 took a superannuated relation.
For several years past he was, at times, very much afflicted so that he
dared not venture to attend the sessions of his Conference, which had been to
him an enjoyable privilege. After thirty-one years of effectiveness in the
ministry, he lived in their home in South Bend, Indiana, and was always ready
for any service that he could render to the church. His pastor said, on the
occasion of the funeral, that he was abundant in labors, supplied many pulpits,
and ministered to the spiritual wants of a larger number of people.
His Christian experience seemed to grow brighter and more intensely
satisfactory down to the very close of his earthly life. A letter received from
him just before the last annual session of our Conference, breathed a very deep
and earnest Christian spirit and evinced a readiness to depart and be with
Christ whenever he might call for him.
His pastor, Dr E P Bennett, of the First Methodist Church, South Bend,
says that near the close of his life " I came into his home ; a few hours only
seemed to be left him on earth. As we gathered around his bed he was able
to respond only by a nod of the head, to questions asked. When he was asked
if the Lord was with him, he nodded assent. Then a very beautiful scene was
enacted before my eyes, while two of his children recited a little poem, written
by their father, as a response to the Mercy and Help Department of the Ep-
worth League, that had remembered him with a gift of flowers.
These were the words: —
"Here is the worn, the tattered tent
Wherein I lived so long.
Fluttering still with many a rent
Caused by tempests strong.
Soon renewed on solid shore —
Pitched under fairer skies —
You'll And me waiting in the door,
Waiting with expectant eyes.
"Life's mantling shadows deepen now, *
Yet soon the clouds will lift,
For as I gaze with wistful brow
Radiance flashes from a rift.
Don't let me wait, forever wait,
In throbbing expectation.
But meet me close within the gate
In wondrous exultation."
Then on June 1, 1903, he closed his eyes on the faces of his loved ones on
earth, to open them on those who had gone before and on the face of Him
who said, " Father, I will that they also whom Thou hast given me be with
me where I am that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me."

MRS. HANNAH M. BARNES
Was born in Groveland, Livingstone
County, N Y, in the year 1813. At the
age of eighteen she was married to Hor-
atio N Barnes, who became one of the
most honored and effective members of
North Indiana Conference, serving in
some of the most important stations, and
several times Presiding Elder. She was
his faithful wife in those days when
their ministry associated with hard cir-
cuits, mud roads, cabin preaching, log
schoolhouses, camp-meetings and wide-
spread revivals. She was a quiet woman,
with a well-balanced mind and a sweet
and cultivated heart. The virtues and
graces of the Christian religion seldom
find a more splendid exhibition or a more
beautiful adorning than were manifested in her long and eventful life.
She lived in many cities, and bore the contact of many people. She tried the
evolution of Methodism for nearly one hundred years without a stain upon
her character or a blight upon her record. She was marvelously like the good
man by whose side she so long and faithfully wrought. Brother Barnes died
in Pasadena, Cal, February 15, 1896, at the age of ninety years. She died in
the same city, June 16, 1903, at the same age, ninety years. Her life simply
ebbed away, with comparatively little pain, and her soul had wondrous tri-
umph through faith. Death was completely under her feet, and her face was
radiant with Christian hope. She was buried from the First Methodist Epis-
copal Church, of which she was a cherished member. She was the mother of
eleven children, of whom five yet survive, namely : Erastus Barnes, of Pomo-
na, Cal ; Mrs Rev F A Hardin, of Rock River Conference ; Mrs H M Martin-
dale, widow of the late Rev Charles Martindale ; Mrs Rev W J Vigus, of North
Indiana Conference, and Mrs Ellen J Magee, of Pasadena, Cal. Funeral serv-
ices were conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev Dr A C Manwell. The
body was laid to rest beside the body of her husband in beautiful Mountain
View Cemetery, Pasadena. A W Lamport.

LOUISE S. NAFTZGER.
Louise S, daughter of George C and
Emma Smith, was born in Centerville,
Indiana, April I2th, 1874, and departed
this life at her parsonage home in the
city of Logansport, Indiana, on the after-
noon of September 18th, 1903, aged 29
years, 5 months and 6 days. All of her
early life was spent at Centerville where
she attended the common and high
school, receiving such education as they
were able to impart.
She was married to Rev Earle F Naftz-
ger, April 7th, 1897, and to this union
one son, Robert, was born. During her
married life she shared the work of the
ministry with her husband in the follow-
ing charges : Centerville one year, Char-
lottsville four years and for the past two
years at Market Street Church, Logans-
port. In all of these charges she was a real helpmeet to her husband, cheer-
ing, comforting or encouraging as he had need. In all the responsibilities that
came upon her as daughter, wife or mother, she was the very personification
of faithfulness and devotion.
In her childhood she was baptized in the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, but became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Center-
ville in the year 1888, during the pastorate of the Rev J W Bowen. In her
religious life she was never demonstrative, but clear, trustful and faithful.
Her cult would find expression in these words of the poet:
" I am thine O Lord, I have beard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me,
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee."
She had no doubt, she had no fear, she knew Christ as a living personal
reality, but it was not her disposition to always give audible expression to her
inward musings, yet in her heart was a testimony that was ever satisfying to
her own mind and she longed to grow more and more into the likeness of her
Lord.
When she became the wife of a minister, she realized that new respon-
sibilities would doubtless come upon her, and while she never courted any
position, yet she never refused to perform such service as the Lord asked of
her, nor shrank from duty. Again her desires can find expression in the
words of the poet:
" Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine ;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope
And my will be lost in thine."
1904] North Indiana Conference 97
In her work she was a constant inspiration to all who knew her, and ten-
derly loved by all the people whom they served. Perhaps there was no place
where her light shined brighter than in her own home ; here her quiet, yet
positive life was a constant benediction to her husband. Her very disposition
was a sedative to the nervous, energetic temperament belonging to him. She
rested and helped him by her quietness. She very much enjoyed entertaining
her friends in her home and did it with a quiet grace and dignity, free from
worry and fluster, that at once made her guests feel that they were welcome
and giving her no special extra care. This made it a real pleasure to be in her
home. And while every detail received the most careful attention, at the
same time she found time and opportunity to assist her husband much in his
work and to give attention to the services of the house of God, both in the
regular and special services of the Church,
While of a retiring disposition naturally, she possessed social qualities of
a high order and many will rise up in the charges they served and bless her
memory as one who assisted them greatly in the social duties of life. Her
death, from an earthly standpoint, seems untimely ; she was cut down when
greatly needed and in the midst of her usefulness. The summons came unex-
pectedly and almost without premonition. Her last illness was of only ten
days' duration and seemed to be a sickness unto death from the very begin-
ning, and all the skill of the physicians and the constant attention of kind
friends had no effect upon the disease, but steadily and continuously she grew
worse until, " she was not, for God had taken her ."
Her last hours were conscious and peaceful. On the night before her
translation her husband asked her if she realized her serious illness. She re-
plied that she did. He then asked her if she felt reconciled to die, and she
replied that " while she longed to live and work for the Master and for her
family, she was ready if it was His will to call her now." He then asked if
she found Christ precious, and she replied : " 0 yes. He is very near to me."
A noble, pure life has ended ; a sincere. Christian woman has gone out
from us; we feel poorer, but rejoice in the wonderful life that has unfolded to
her vision. She rests from her labors, but her works will follow her.
Funeral services were held in the Market Street Church at Logansport on
Saturday at 11:00 a.m., conducted.in the absence of Dr Herrick, Presiding Elder,
because of sickness, by Dr Parrish, pastor of Broadway Methodist Church,
assisted by Martin Cause, of Wheatland Avenue, and other pastors of the city.
A beautiful tribute from the Pastors' Association of the city was spoken by
the Rev Huckelberry, of the Baptist Church. The remains were then taken
to Centerville, Indiana, for final interment. Here services were held on Mon-
day, September 24th, at 2:00 p. m. in the Methodist Church, in charge of the
pastor and Presiding Elder, Rev George H Hill, D D. The sermon was
preached by the Rev Dan H Guild, the music being furnished by the Confer-
ence Quartet, Rev Sherman Powell taking the place of Rev Earl F Naftager.
A number of the pastors of the Richmond District were present.

ROBERT F. BREWINGTON.
Robert F Brewington was born near
Chesterville, Dearborn Co, Ind, Novem-
ber 8, 1832.
He grew up on a farm and was a
Christian in early life and showed a love
for study and learning. He made prep-
aration for college and was the first male
graduate of Moore's Hill College, gradu-
ating in 1859. He then became superin-
tendent of the public school at Wright's
Corner, Ind, and not long after accepted
a professorship in his alma mater, and,
upon the resignation of President Sam-
uel R Adams to accept the chaplaincy
of the Twenty-sixth Indiana Regiment,
he became the acting president of the
institution. In 1862 he was elected pres-
ident of the College, but declined that he
might accept the first lieutenancy of Company K, Sixty-eighth Regiment of
Indiana Volunteers. In 1863, because of severe lameness in one foot, he re-
signed that position and was soon elected as superintendent of schools in
Greensburg, Ind.
In 1865 he was again elected to a professorship in Moore's Hill College
and again resigned that he might accept the superintendency of schools in
Vevay, Ind, where he remained during five years.
In 1872 he was admitted into the Southeastern Indiana Conference and
was appointed to Vernon charge, but was soon appointed to the chaplaincy of
the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, at Knightstown, Ind, where he remained sev-
eral years, acting for some time as superintendent of that institution after
the death of Dr Wishard.
At the earnest solicitation of the writer, who was then Presiding Elder of
Muncie District, he came in the summer of 1879 to supply the Dunkirk charge
on account of the death of the pa.stor, and at our annual session in 1880,
Bishop Foster announced his transfer to the North Indiana Conference. He
was afterward pastor at Pendleton, Mishawaka and Nappanee.
FeeVjleness of health, caused by severe hemorrhages of the lungs, necessi-
tated several of the changes which have been noted.
He was a man of such noticeable capabilities, having intelligence, an ex-
cellent judgment couple<l with an amiable Christian spirit, that people would
not refrain from urging him to accept positions and they showed a disposition
often to risk failures in his service which he himself felt that he could not
conscientiously allow them to do, for the work's sake.
Dr Brewington was twice married. In the words of one who knew her
well, his first wife was the beautiful and accomplished Miss Valaria Soper, a
1904] North Indiana Conference 99
graduate of his alma mater. For about ten years he was blessed with her lov-
ing and elevating companionship. One sweet little son, the offspring of this
marriage, was plucked by death when the bud was tender and most
beautiful.
Again on November 6, 1878, he was married to Miss Maggie Shaw, of
Vevay, Indiana. Some of us here today can bear cheerful testimony to the
wisdom of that choice. A blessed Christian woman of intelligence and cul-
ture, and who, like himself, had been for years a teacher, and was found to be
to him, in his pastoral work, a most charming helper in the work of the Lord.
After the Lord took her, in the spring of 1898, for other service with the just,
made perfect, how often he said to the writer, " How lonely. is the way since
Maggie went home." It was not because he lacked the comforting fellowship
of Him who wept with Mary and Martha, for it was that same blessed Lord,
who made us, that said "it is not good for man to be alone," and that seems
to most forcefully teach us that the very fullest fruition of His own glorious
and transforming fellowship on earth, comes to a man or woman in the holy
Christian unity of that twain which infinite wisdom and goodness has ordained.
After Dr Brewington's health so failed that he could not continue in the
pastorate he was for a short time Editor of the Knightstown Banner, and feel-
ing encouraged in this work he decided, in order to the more rapid recovery
of his health, to make a change to the climate of California ; and there again
he made purchase of a newspaper and managed that long enough to ascertain
that it was to him a splendid success, financially, as well as otherwise.
We now come, however, to a marked manifestation of his noble, stalwart
Christian character and manhood.
After some time had elapsed he learned that if he would conserve his
financial prosperity and avert almost certain ruin to his business, by boycott,
he must allow in his paper abundant advertising space, and, through it, hearty
and repeated endorsement to the wine business, for in that section was one of
its strongholds.
He had believed with all his heart what his Lord and Master had said,
" Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." He would not try, as thousands have
done, to prove his Lord a liar, and even declare by their hypocritical profes-
sions that they have succeeded in the effort. He had never attempted such a
terribly wicked thing and he would not, but adjusted affairs and came away.
Over forty-six years ago I became acquainted with Dr Brewington, when
both of us were teachers in the schools. Thirty years ago that acquaintance-
ship ripened into most intimate and confidential friendship. It is surely a
most encouraging feature in any man's life when he learns that there is any-
thing in himself that delightfully and promptly responds to the drawing and
holy influences of a truly good man.
I have known somewhat intimately many pure and noble men, but surely
no one who was more so than Brother Brewington. I call him brother, yes.
Notwithstanding our years of confidential friendship he never spoke of his
honors, and I never, with certainty, knew until on the occasion of his funeral
that he had been honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity. There would
100

[1904
have been no wickedness in the matter if he had, with his usual humility, told
me ; but it is doubtful whether he ever thought of it when we were together.
He had also been chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of Indiana.
He was likewise a member of the Adams Post No. 354 G. A. R., Department
of Indiana.
After some years of very feeble and imperfect health he swept through
the gates of pearl into his heavenly mansion on October 6, 1903, from the
home of a dear sister, Mrs Warner, who lived in sight of their childhood
home. At her home he had received the warmest welcome, and from her and
another dear sister and other relatives the most tender and faithful watch-
care.
A large multitude of his early friends, like Jesus at Bethany in the long
ago, wept with the two sisters. An aged brother in distant Iowa could not be
present.
By special request made years ago — if he should go first — I was present to
conduct the services and was assisted by his pastor, Dr J W Dashiell, who had
prepared an interesting and appreciative sketch of his life. Dr Frank G
Browne, of the Western Christian Adrocate, was present and spoke most beau-
tifully of the esteem and affection held and felt for him by the members of the
^orth Indiana Conference.
Brethren of the Conference, if you had heard him you would have heart-
ily and most gladly endorsed every word that he spoke for you.
Foralittle while, farewell, dear brother; we will meet thee in the morning!

ELLEN SMITH.
Ellen Smith, whose maiden name was
Kennedy, was born in Allegheny county.
Pa, April 1, 1826.
Using her own words, she was of
Scotch-Irish parentage and was early im-
bued with the stanch, though somewhat
stern, religious principles of Scottish
Presbyterian Protestantism.
When sixteen years of age she united
with the Methodist Episcopal Church,
with which she held an unbroken con-
nection until she was removed to the
Church Triumphant.
She was a teacher for several years in
eastern Ohio, and in 1849 was married to
Mr David Aber, of Carroll county, with
whom she lived a life of the most ideal
Chriptian and marital happiness for
twenty-three years, when the husband of her youth " was not, for God took
him."'

1904] North Indiana Conference 101
In 1874 she was again married, this time to the Eev Benjamin Smith, an
honored and greatly beloved member of the North Indiana Conference. That
blessed union, as she herself characterized it, lasted for nearly twenty-one
years, and then Brother Smith went home to God.
Sister Smith was indeed a noble Christian woman, and the Church, com-
posed of such members, would soon, under the divine blessing, take this
world for Christ without making any parade.
She was intelligent, aggressive in the very best sense of that word, and
there was no interest connected with the establishment of God's Kingdom on
earth that did not have her sympathy and personal aid. Her pastors could
depend upon her in every line of work. She had been blessed with financial
ability and was always recognized as among the most liberal.
She was greatly interested in foreign missions to the heathen, and was for
years the Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Soci-
ety of the North Indiana Conference, an auxiliary of the Northwestern
Branch.
She made bequests to the Woman's Foreign Society, and to the Parent
Missionary Board; also to her nephew, the Rev David H Lee, for the benefit
of a school in India with which he is connected, which bequests will likely
amount to about $500 for each. The larger part of two bequests has already
been paid over to the Woman's Society and to the pastor of the High Street
Church in Muncie, and will go to the credit of that Church.
Bequests were made to relatives, and to Mrs Irene Hammers and her
daughter Maude she gave her comfortable and commodious home in Muncie,
they being granddaughters of Brother Smith, and who had for some years
given to Sister Smith affectionate and faithful watch-care.
She had already, before her death, given to the De Pauw University over
$3,000, and through E F Hasty to the Preachers' Aid Society over $1,400.
The departure of Sister Smith from our midst was very sudden. She retired
to rest on Friday night in her usual health, and as she did not make her ap-
pearance as formerly in the morning, upon investigation she was found lying
in her bed apparently unconscious, from which condition she could not be
rallied, but very soon, as we fully believe, passed to her heavenly home on
Saturday morning, October 31 ,1903.

WILLIAM B. RANDOLPH.
The Angel of Death knows no friends.
He recognizes neither age nor sex, years
of service, nor worth of character. His
blow is alike deadly upon whoever it
falls. When a few weeks ago it fell upon
our brother, William B Randolph, we
were, nearly all, much surprised. Al-
though he had been a member of this
Conference for more than 16 years, yet
few of us were well acquainted with him.
Not because of any fault of his or ours,
but because ill health had taken him out
of the ranks of the ettective ministry be-
fore he had been able to give more than
a few years of service to the work of the
Church.
Brother Randolph was born in Shelby
county, Ohio, November 12, 1858. While
he was yet young he came with his parents to Indiana and settled in Hunt-
ington county, where he grew up to manhood.
On April 5, 1885, he was married to Miss Laura Miller of the same county.
A part of the two years that elapsed between his marriage and his entrance
into the work of the ministry was spent in the city of Huntington. In the
spring of 1887 he responded to the call of the Master to enter the work of the
ministrj', and joined the North Indiana Conference which met at Marion. He
•was appointed by Bishop Hurst to Lewisville and Ogden, which he served one
year. In 1888 he served Knightstown Circuit and in 1889, Fountain City
charge. Brother Randolph was considered able in prayer and a good sermon-
izer. In addition to these, he put his accustomed energy and zeal into his
work in the ministry, that he had while on the farm.
His hard study in connection with his intense energy and zeal in this new
field of labor was more than his untrained nervous system could bear; the
result of which was that while he was still on the Fountain City charge, he-
suffered a general nervous break down. Thinking that this was only temporary
and that he would soon recover sufficient to again take up the work, he was
granted a Supernumerary relation, by the Conference in 1890. In the hope
that more active employment would be beneficial in the restoration of his
healtii he engaged in secular employment, being part of the time employed as
a commercial traveler. Thinking that he was now able to take up the work
again, he was made eflfective in 1895 and .stationed at Sweetzer. But sore dis-
appointment was again his part, for at the end of one year he found it neces-
sary, on account of his health, to again ask for a Supernumary Relation which
was granted him by the Conference. He continued in this relation until the
spring of 1901, when he was placed on the Superannuate list.
1904] North Indiana Conference lOS
Notwithstanding his persistent efforts to regain his health, he was unable
to do so, the terrible nervous trouble growing worse rather than better.
About three weeks before his death, in the hope of some improvement under
better conditions, he was taken to a hospital in Logansport, but alas, even in
this he and his friends were doomed to disappointment. He lingered in the
terrible agony of Spinal Meningitis, which had been caused by general nerv-
ous prostration, until February 10, 1904, when, at the age of 45 years and 3
months, his soul was set free from the body of suffering to be with God. He
leaves a wife and three children, Miss Fern, Masters Foster and Paul, together
with an aged mother, three brothers and two sisters.
Nowhere more than in contrasting the operations of divine Providence in
the affairs of men, with our own plans and hopes for them, are the words of
Isaiah made plain where he says, " ' My ways are not your ways,' saith Jeho-
vah." None but those who have entered the ranks of our holy ministry know
the awfulness of the disappointment that overtakes a man called of God to the
work of the ministry, and finds, notwithstanding all his personal efforts, he
cannot respond to the call. But we are comforted in the hope of the future
when these eyes shall see and know and these ears shall hear and shall under-
stand. So our brother shall see Him face to face, and hear His words of di-
vine grace, why the will was taken for the deed and it was best to lay down
thus early his life that had been given to the Kingdom.
The body was taken to Huntington for burial, and where the funeral serv-
ices were conducted in the Methodist Episcopal Church by his pastor, Rev J
H Runkle, of Marion, assisted by Revs T M Guild and F A Robinson, of
Huntington, on Saturday afternoon February 13, 1904. After the services in
the church the body was laid away in the Mount Hope Cemetery, to await
the call of God to a life of eternal triumph with the redeemed in glory.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
Your Committee report as follows :
Resolved, That we memorialize the General Conference to adopt the report
of the Book Committee relative to the consolidation of our publishing in-
terests.
Resolved, That we memorialize the General Conference to retain Article
No. 248 in the body of the Discipline.
Resolved, That we memorialize the General Conference to make no changes
in the boundary line between our Conference and the Northwest Indiana
Conference.
Believing that the destroying of the Itinerancy by the removal of the
" Time Limit " was a mistake, therefore,
Resolved, That we memorialize the General Conference to replace the
" Time Limit. "
Resolved, That we have heard with much pleasure of the prosperity and
bright prospects of De Pauw University. We recognize this institution as
most worthy of our appreciation and support. That we extend to Dr Edwin
H Hughes, the new President, our cordial greetings and welcome. "We con-
gratulate him on the auspicious beginning of his administration, and we prom-
ise him our earnest support in securing means and students for the increased
usefulness of the University.
114 Lay Electoral Conference [1904
Resolved, That we re-affirm our unswerving allegiance to the position held
by our Church concerning the legalized liquor traffic as expressed in our Dis-
cipline.
Believing that the best interests of our North Indiana Conference Method-
ism would be conserved with a less number of Districts, we request the Annual
Conference to reduce the present number as soon as they can arrange for it.
Resolved, That this Lay Electoral Conference extend to the people of Mun-
cie our sincere thanks for their royal hospitality during our Conference, and
to the Trustees of the Presbyterian Church for the use of their building.

APPOINTMENT RECORD
APPOINTMENT RECORD.
The following Record is a continuation of that prepared by Rev. L. W. •
Monson, as found in his valuable Manual, and is brought down to 1903. An
effort is made to condense as much as possible by using abbreviations easily
understood. The figures " 18 " and " 19 " are omitted from the years given,.
as all the appointments are in these two centuries. In some instances no
record is made of services in other Conferences, because of the lack of data.

" I admire a miner's wealth. There is no blood, nor are there tears on it." — Rev. Rahert Mclntyre.
Is buying mining stock, in a company whose aim is to de-
velop and operate mines, speculation ?
Would buying stock in a company, whose aim would be to
purchase land, improve and farm it, be speculation ?
These are identical in character and purpose.
The Idaho-Oregon Mining Company
OF KOKOMO. IINDIAINA,
Own two mining properties, located in the famous gold belt of Eastern Oregon,
that is noted for the uniform success of every well-managed mine of importance
in the district. There has not been a single instance, where good values have
been found on the surface of a true fissure vein, that it has not continued as
far down as developed. The United States Government's Twenty-second An-
nual Report of the Geological Survey, three years ago, predicted that these veins,
upon which our properties are located, would continue to the greatest depth ever
attained in gold mining.
The Pubv Mine ^^ located on the North Pole Vein, upon which the
rL four big mines of the State are situated, and it has
proven mines adjoining it at both extremities. On the surface it has shown the
highest average values at the same level yet found upon this wonderful vein,
conceded to be the greatest in the world.
The Rartholf Oroun ^^"^^^"^^ °^ ^^^ quartz and two placer claims, in
— the Gold Ridge mining district. The vein is
from three to nine feet in width, and has a length of almost two miles. We
have based our estimates of ore on an average of ^lo.oo per ton, and if it does
that it will become one of the great mines of the Northwest. The average, so
far, in the upper part of the vein, has been ^45.00 per ton. There is enough
ore in sight to keep a ten^stamp mill busy several months, and contains enough
values to cover every dollar that will be expended on the property to place it
on a producing basis. This makes the original investment absolutely secure.
WE INVITE INVESTIGATION, AND MAKE THIS PROPOSITION:
We will give one thousand shares of stock, now worth i 5 cents per share, to any
one who will, either personally or through a representative, visit and investigate our
properties in Eastern Oregon ; and this stock is yours whether you buy or not.
This offer is made in good faith, and all we ask is that the party taking advantage
of it is in a position to invest $500.00 or more in stock, if he finds everything
satisfactory. The stock will more than cover the cost of the trip. Anyone seeing
the properties and the surrounding mines, with their great mills and reducing plants,
can come to only one conclusion — that we have the most promising properties in
this wonderful storehouse of riches.

Situation ^ ''*^ Woman's College of Baltimore is situated near the northern
boundaries of the city of Baltimore, Md., in the new and pleasant
residence section, one hundred and fifty feet above tide-water.
The buildings are seven in number — three devoted to instruction and
DUlluin^S administration, three to residence. All are new, cheerful and
commodious, erected particularly for their respective purposes and
containing the conveniences devised by modern architectural science. They are
heated from a battery of boilers and lighted by electricity from the new I'ower
house of the College.
PrFiif»P»tinn?»I -^"iP'^ ^"^ thoroughly furnished laboratories facilitate study of
£:>UUCaliun<il ^j^g natural sciences by modern methods. The apparatus is of
Euuipment recent type, carefully selected. Maps, charts, engravings,
photographs and cabinets of specimens and of objects illus-
trating natural history and the development of the race are liberally provided.
There is a good, modern working library of about ten thousand volumes, while
half a million volumes are at the service of students in public and institutional
libraries easily accessible.
The course of study includes prescribed subjects and
CiOUrSG of Study elective subjects in about equal proportions. Students
who wish to follow particular lines of study are enabled
to lay a solid foundation for subsequent specialization. Elective courses are
offered in Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, German, English Literature,
including Old and Middle English, Mathematics, Geology, Mineralogy, Physics,
Chemistry, Botany, Biology, History, Economics and Sociology. Upon the
completion of a course usually requiring four years, the student is graduated
with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Physical Train^ Every candidate for the degree is required to pursue a
, .course in physiology and hygiene. A commodious
in§ and lly^IBne modern gymnasium provides systematic exercises accord-
ing to the Ling, or Swedish, method under careful
trainers and supervision of a physician specially prepared in mechanical thera-
peutics. Halls are provided for basket ball and courts for tennis and similar
sports. Care is taken to prevent excess in these exercises.
■p x These are the usual requirements of Eastern Colleges and
*^ should be met by graduates of good high schools in which at
BcQuif CnientS 'east one language in addition to Latin is embraced in the

Lack of Confidence
The onl\' reason there is any limit to the sales of the remedy
which we manufacture, is that people have been humbugged so
often that they are suspicious of any and every advertised prepara-
tion.
We are prepared to back up our every statement, as we know
that every person who suffers with Indigestion, Biliousness, Dyspep-
sia, Constipation, Sick Headache, Flatulency, Dizziness and Heart-
burn, will derive satisfactory results from the use of Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin.
We ask you to read the letters from ministers which we publish
below. If you are not satisfied, then write us for a FREE SAMPLE
before buying the large size from your druggist. That is fair, is n' t it ?
ILLINOIS
Rev. Joseph G. Wright, Editor of the Dio-
cese OF Spri.ngfielu, Greenville, 111., writes:
I am pleased to acknowledge the merit of your
medicine. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and
thank you for placing such an efficacious reme-
dy for stomach and bowel troubles on the mar-
ket. I always keep your medicine in the house,
and use no other kind. For persons of sedentary
habits a laxative and stomach tonic is a necessity,
and Syrup Pepsin meets my requirements in
this line better than any medicine I ever used,
keeping me in splendid health.
INDIANA
Rev. R. A. Kemp, of Charlestown, Ind., Sec-
retary Indiana Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, writes under date of Septem-
ber 11, 1899: For years 1 have been a victim of
constipation, and have tried a great many reme-
dies, but have never found anything equal to
your Syrup Pepsin. I have suffered from indi-
gestion which caused irregular heart action. A
physician who treated me for some time, told
me the irregular pulsation could not be relieved
as it had become chronic, but after taking near-
ly two bottles of your medicine my heart has
become regular in action. 1 do not hesitate to
recommend it.
IOWA
H. C. Littleton, pastor Church of Christ,
Harlan, Iowa, writes: I have used Dr. Cald-
well's Syrup Pepsin for indigestion and heart-
burn, and am very much pleased with its re-
sults. I cheerfully recommend it as a pleasant,
safe and reliable remedy for dyspepsia. It is
the best medicine to sweeten a sour stomach I
have ever tried.
G£,ORGIA
Rev. J. C. Newman, late pastor Milledgeville
Church, Atlanta, Ga., writes : I suffered for
years with chronic dyspepsia, a generally de-
ranged stomach and torpid liver. This has
caused me many a painful hour, and I feel it
but honest and just to you to acknowledge the
merits of your Syrup Pepsin, as eight bottles
cured me, and made a complete change in me.
I never have the least trouble any more. I eat
heartily, my sleep is restful, and I wake in the
morning refreshed and ready for a day's work,
in the best of spirits. I am e.\tremely glad to
have found so valuable a remedy in my trouble.

PEPSIN SYRUP CO., Monticello, 111.:
De.\r Sirs: It affords me great pleasure to
give an unfeigned and unconstrained testimo-
nial to the value and virtue of Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. The use of one bottle gave me
ready and radical relief from a torpid liver,
removed a headache, regulated my bowels, and
enabled me to continue my evangelical work
without discomfiture or intermission. Your
medicine will surely prove a great blessing to
any .ind all who are in neqd of a good, true
friend of a "sound mind in a sound body."
Thanking you for the help and health I have
enjoyed at your hands, I am
Your grateful servant.

ILLINOIS WOMAN'S COLLEGE
JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS
This is the only College of our Church exclusively for women in all the
country from Pennsylvania to California. For thoroughness of work in all
departments — literary, music, elocution and art — it is not surpassed by any
other school for women, and it is especially to be commended for its helpful
influences on character and life, and for its healthy religious atmosphere.
It is not one of the most expensive schools, but it is one of the best. It
gives its students health, vigor, inspiration, Christian Womanliness.
READ WHAT THOSE SAY WHO KNOW :
Dr. Berry, in "Epworth Herald : " "No wonder the attendance at the Illinois Woman's
College increases rapidly from year to year. It is a charming Christian home."
Conference Visitors: "We believe there is not a school for women in the United
States with a healthier moral tone, and where our girls can be sent with more security for
their training in all that is good, than there."
The College has the regular literary courses, and also offers the Finest
Advantages in Music, Art and Elocution.
The attendance is limited. For several years every place has been en-
gaged before the opening in September. For information write to
